Currently, 34% percent of rural Hondurans and 54% of rural Dominicans do not have convenient access to a clean and reliable water source. As a result, many suffer from malnutrition, which blocks physical and intellectual development, and makes them more susceptible to other potentially fatal infectious diseases such as cholera, typhoid, or shigellosis. Enersol's AguaSol water projects are designed to: Provide clean water to unelectrified rural areas in developing nations; Improve access to and the quantity of clean, uncontaminated water; and Maximize scarce capital resources and raise the standard of living for community residents, by improving health and sanitation. In the areas we target, electricity is unavailable or not feasible. Solar electricity represents an alternative to traditional ways of delivering power. It is both environmentally friendly and economically more attractive to install and maintain—critical factors in rural areas of the developing world. Through our AguaSol program, community water pumps are installed in locations where residents may have previously had to walk long distances to gather water from contaminated sources. Solar modules, installed with the help of community residents, power electric motors that pump clean water to a convenient, central location. Upon completion of a project installation, we provide training to local technicians and community organizations, to ensure that the system is maintained and sustainable by that community. Enersol has completed 17 AguaSol projects in Latin America. Here is a sampling of those projects: Monte Plata, DR El Fortin, Honduras Sabana al Medio, DR
